GREAT JOYNL/AUS
Infectious and jangly garagerock 'n roll
Holiday Ghosts – a prolific four-piece of musicians and friends bring their hip-shaking, head thrashing, raw and upbeat energy to their recordings and unforgettable live shows. The result is unadulterated and unclean, unabashed and uncompromised. As drummer, Katja Rackin, and guitarist Sam Stacpoole, share lead vocal duties, their voices come together as one with dispersed harmonies, often joined by rhythm guitarist Ben Nightingale, and grounded by Morgan Lloyd-Mathews tastefully simplistic bass grooves. Call it garagy, jangly, rock n rolly, indie, punky, poppy, whatever you wanty.
Since the birth of the band they have played iconic stages throughout the UK and Europe, from Latitude Festival to Left Of The Dial, from Dot to Dot to Misty Fields, from the Pyrenees mountains to the chapels of Chester. With catchy melodies, fiery lyrics, hard-picked guitars and a DIY punk spirit, Holiday Ghosts have cemented their status in the UK music scene and have big plans for the year ahead.
Support wonk-punk band GREAT JOY creates a cathartic party experience for singing, dancing, releasing and reflecting. GREAT JOY is confrontation as a playful act – an opposition to what troubles us in a format that excites us. It is frustration and pain and vulnerability and love all rolled into one. It’s a playful rampage in celebration of art and the out crowd, and you are all invited.
